Bishop urges govt. to help Filipinos detained abroad
A Catholic Church leader of the Philippines is calling on the government to help free Filipinos detained abroad and get them home safely. "The time has come ease the suffering of these people. The government cannot abandon them,” said Bishop Ruperto Santos of Balanga, the president of the Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). He has asked Manila to make every effort so that " their agony and their sorrow is not prolonged." His words came in the wake of the homecoming of Filipino worker, Joseph Urbiztondo, after 25 years in detention in Kuwait. He had managed to save his life paying the "blood money" to the family of a Bangladeshi he was accused of murdering though he denied it.
"Missionary of Mercy" Fr. Panneer Selvam, part 2
This year’s Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season have taken on a special connotation and colour, occurring during the current Jubilee Year of Mercy. Pope Francis marked the beginning of the Church's Lenten journey by sending out several hundred religious and diocesan priests from around the world as "Missionaries of Mercy" to their local churches and communities. At the Feb. 10 Ash Wednesday Mass in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pope officially commissioned 762 priests with the task, empowering them to forgive even the sins that are reserved for the Holy See to pardon. The original plan of the Holy Father was to have just 800 Missionaries of Mercy. But with overwhelming requests from around the world, he ended up choosing over 1,000. Of these, 762 were specially invited to the Vatican for the official ceremony.
